Unix 13-character millisecond-resolution timestamp JPG attachment containing semi-obfuscated (to defeat OCR) text and a QR code containing a bitcoin address. The text claims that the sender knows your password and recorded you via your own webcam. It then demands a bitcoin payment. Otherwise the video will be sent to all your contacts.

Another typical sextortion attempt, this time wrapped up in a JPG with the bitcoin address as a QR code. Wow, what a clever technique, this guy is obviously such a tech genius that everything in his message must be true, and I better pay him! Not.
